OOC: We need a new thread. that one was gettin' leng-'thy. '

BIC: ''Vermeil blinked at the shrew, then spoke. ''"Well, you see, we were all living in peace, happy as could be here in Torosus Woods, when came along a great beast from the Far East named Hotnar the Crusher. Supposedly, he's a rare golden sable, with a great army to back him up. He took Castle Floret, killed the Squirrelking and Queen, then declared himself new ruler of all of Southsward. He has enslaved all he can catch, and those who have not been captured have fled North. However, that is the coward's way out. Some, very noble individuals have chosen to fight, for our freedom, our liberty, and our right to call ourselves citizens of Southsward!! Anyhow, I hope you're willing to fight for us, that is, once that head of yours has healed. All who are seeking protection from us must also provide protection from us. Only the very old and inexperienced are exceptions from this motto. Believe it or not, when I was but a young lad, I had no experience with weapons whatsoever. I was a farmboy, living with our mother, father, grandmother, and Evalynne. You see, our small farm was attacked when I took a pitchfork and nearly killed myself with it before I slashed some ferret soldier's shoulder. They killed my family, save Evalynne and I. They tried to burn our house down with the two of us trapped in it, when we escaped with our family's sword, and Evalynne with some dead vermin's scimitar. Since, we've.. well.. modified them." Idunn glanced at the emerald pommelstone and golden hilt. "Anyhow, I bet you're tired of walking all day. Let me lead you to a secret shorter path that leads straight to The Burrow."
